Guwahati: A major crackdown has been carried out by Xtra-Power Tools on counterfeit tools in Jalandhar, Punjab, with raids conducted across multiple locations.

These raids by the firm were carried out from September 2 to September 4.

According to company personnel, the company’s team carried out inspections and raids at several premises, continuing the operation both during the day and at night to trace the network involved in the alleged illegal distribution of duplicate tools.

During the three-day operation, large quantities of suspected counterfeit stock were recovered from two outlets, Golden Tools and Sukhija Enterprises.

On checking the stock, the seized items totalled four truckloads of duplicate products. The value of the items is said to be worth crores of rupees.

An official from Xtra-Power Tools said that these counterfeit tools may look similar to genuine products, but their quality and safety standards are never upto the mark.

Such products can potentially affect customers while also causing losses to authorised dealers and the original brand, the official said.

XtraPower Tools said its action against counterfeit products will continue in the future as well to make the market safer for consumers. The company is also working with government agencies and its legal teams to monitor and take action against such cases.

The company further appealed to customers and dealers to purchase genuine Xtra-Power products only, and that too from authorised channels.

It asked consumers to report any suspected counterfeit products directly to the company if found in the market.
